Stay, Eat, Do: Palm Springs Desert
If the thought of a month-long remote work "playcation" appeals to you, Airbnb can help you zero in on your dream home away from home.
You can search for listings that allow stays of 28+ nights (most offer a discount ranging from 5% to 45%) and filter for “entire homes,” “pets welcome,” and “go near.” To find a place with personal character and amenities like a fully stocked kitchen, Wi-Fi, and washer and dryer, also filter for Airbnb Plus. Many featured properties, like the Vintage Alexander Mountain View Home below, have been personally inspected and verified for quality and design.
